Hello Everyone,

I'm a Jamerican who recently moved to Upstate New York. I am in culture shock. I feel as if I am the only Jamaican for miles....

Welcome aboard jamaicasimone.

I'm sure you're not the only one there. From what I've experienced Jamaicans are EVERYWHERE. It will probably take a little time for you to meet some of them.

LOL! Sounds like you'll have to make frequent trips to Brooklyn. As a former NYer I know all about Brooklyn. Or maybe you could open a West Indian grocery store up there.
